Outdoor Wednesday #236





Where Solitude Disturbs Nothing

Listen to the quiet

fog drenched leaves
sing in tune
a soft breeze.


Where solitude
disturbs nothing
and serenity
speaks echoes.


Chime in cadence
the bird's lullaby
carried by the wind
freedom blessed.


A sanctuary
warmed by the sun
kissed by the moon
forever gentle.

Our World Tuesday Week 99


Morning Inspiration

pastel hues
sing lullabies
and leaves dance.

trees whisper
sweet melodies
a heavenly chorus

the sky glistens
pastel mist
kissing the earth.

Outdoor Wednesday #235 Angel's Flight Los Angeles

Photos taken at Angel's Flight in Los Angeles, CA

Had a great time in Los Angeles visiting friends and exploring not only Hollywood but downtown LA.  At fifty cents a ride, Angel's flight is not only the least expensive railway you will ever find but it is the shortest railway line in the world traveling about one to two blocks.

It is located in the Bunker Hill area of Los Angeles between Hill street and Grand avenue.  It is very narrow, both the tracks and cars with a steep uphill climb.  I was thrilled to see this as it is a landmark and has a rich history which you can read here.

I did not have time to ride this quaint little railroad while there but am definitely looking forward to it in the near future.
